Activities Health and Welfare Sub Group Obedience Questionnaire

The Kennel Club Activities Health and Welfare Sub Group has
recently developed and designed a questionnaire with the aim to
investigate the occurrence, frequency and types of injury which
occur in dogs that take part in Obedience. This study takes a
proactive approach into investigating Obedience as part of a larger
study investigating several of the Working Dog Activity disciplines
regulated by the Kennel Club.

We are interested in hearing from dog owners who take part in
Obedience events, at any level, to fill out a questionnaire for all
dogs owned or handled by them. The questionnaire is not restricted
to dogs that may have suffered injury taking part in canine events,
it is important that owners / handlers of healthy dogs also
complete questionnaire.

The questionnaire is not restricted to dogs taking part in
Kennel Club licensed events; owners / handlers who participate in
"unaffiliated" events or events run under regulations set by other
bodies running Obedience competitions are also encouraged to
participate in the survey.

If you wish to fill in a survey or know anyone who would be
